Hog Meat In Mexico.

Hog meat is an expensive luxury down
in Mexico. l never found il out until
the last time ! was there, this fall.
was up at little mining town, and was
buying some supplies to take up to a
mining camp in which am interested.
] saw some nice looking sidemeat or
bacon on the counter in the supply store,
when it occurred TO me that it would
taste pretty well for breakfast some
morning. | ordered the clerk to cut off
ten pounds for me. and while he was
preparing to do it asked him how he
sold it. You can judge my astonishment
when he said he would reduce the price
to me and make it 81 a pound. Well,
didn't buy it. As for hams-they never
saw ham there. The MeXicans know
nothing about the curing of meat, and
the bacon they sell is imported from the
United States II was only quite re-
Gently they began selling meats by the
pound. They formerly sold it by the
yard. Going into their markets you
would see the beef and other meats cut
up in strips. which was measured out to
the customer. The very finest fresh beef
is sold there at 1Sc. to 25c. per pound

4 Terrific Tumble,

We have given our solemn promise, un-
der all sorts of dire threats, to mention no
names, but it has probably been some time
since we have noticed as perceptibIe q
ripple Of excitement as was yesterday ere
ated by little incident which occurred on
east Main street.
Owing, no doubt. to the present wet
weather and the muddy. slippery condition
Of our streets this little accident occurred,
and, while it is now laughed off as q good
joke, yet for time it really loOded serious
for the party most interested.
We may probably as well add that the
principal in this affair is one of the best
known citizens Of Springfield, which will
make it all the more interesting to our
readers.
The tumble above alluded to consists
of most wonderful reduction in the price
of our Scotch Cheviots from S33. 90 to
$500.
These goods. consisting Of the very new
est and nObbiest that money can procure,
can be seen at the store OF Jason w. Phil
lips, No. 80 east Main street, and, while
the "falT" is remarkable one, let us add
the hope that the reader didn't tumble"
before reading the above advertisement.

Iron Brick Paving Stones.

Paving blocks called iron brick are
now being introduced by Louis Jochum,

many. This brick is made by mixing
equal parts of finely ground red argillace-

adding 5 per cent. of iron ore. This
mixture is moistened with solution of
% per cent. sulphate of iron, to which
fine iron ore is added until is shows a
consistency of 3S degs. Baume. 1t is
then formed in press, dried, dipped
once more in nearly concentrated solu-

DIR. A. A. BlOunt, president Of the West

the most thorough tests were made and the
water came through absolutely pure. Some
of the filtered water was placed in propa-
eating tubes from "a to 72 hours to see
whether any germ life would develop. but
after that time under . powerful micro
scope. the water was shown to be abso-
lutely pure. This is one Of the best tests
ever given to any filter, and the Pasteur is
thus shown to be all its Manufacturers

Chief Foster arrested Allen Seward, .
young cOlored man, last night on the charge
Of larceny and lodged him in Jail. Early
in the evening colored boy went up into

on Limestone street. He had worn his en-
ployer's overcoat and while he was doing
some work in the Office he carelessIy laid
the coat down in tine lobby. Seward
found 1t there and nipped it. but was
so indiscreet as to tell friend
that he had stolen the coat The friend
informed on him and the arrest was made
q short time afterward.
NUMBER TWO.
This morning Officer Caldwell arrested
William Henderson for larceny, and he.

Singer and had managed to escape punish
ment for the same until this time.

but did not counsel it, Gen. Parsons is con.
WINGED that his brother was sincere and
